I am a student that just graduated from Topsail... and the day of the gas leak was eventful... My mom was coming to the school right as we were be evacuated and she walked up with me to the football field where we were all being held and when she tried to leave about an hour later they wouldn't let her leave either even though she never actually went into the building eventually they let her leave but the teachers and students still had to sit the for about 3 more hours. But the only thing that really bothered any of us was the heat and the fact we had no water or drink. They said that if we were contaminated and ate or drank it could make us sick or something so there is no reason to sue the school for not letting the kids out...
